The Path of the Sage

Chapter 757: The battle of military virtues, the world of military saints

Views:

King Qing lowered his eyes, and all the officials of Qing State were angry and worried.

If Xiangzhou is saved, as long as Qing treats Xiangzhou people a little better, the influence of this poem will naturally disappear. If Xiangzhou is not saved, then the influence of this poem will only be limited to Xiangzhou.

However, Qingjun just made a big mistake.

Agreed to exchange the poem for the person!

This poem would be a pillar of shame for the Kingdom of Qing. As long as the royal family of Qing did not change, as long as something happened in Qing, other countries would certainly use this poem to criticize it, and even domestic scholars might use it to accuse the royal family.

Most scholars are naturally opposed to those in power.

Poetry has always had a high status in the Shengyuan Continent. This is the first work of Xu Sheng, and Qing Kingdom would never dare to destroy it. Once Jing Kingdom takes the opportunity to attack Qing Kingdom and judges that Qing Kingdom deliberately destroyed Xu Sheng's poems, the royal family will inevitably be punished by the Holy Court and the royal privileges will be reduced.

Seeing that Qingjun still refused to admit his mistake, some officials of Jing State exchanged glances with each other.

He Ludong looked like a sturdy general, but he was actually well versed in military tactics. He rolled his eyes and said, "This poem has not been verified by an official seal, nor has it been written in the Academy of Literature. I don't know how talented it is. Mr. He Chuan, why don't you make the final evaluation?"

When the people of Jing heard this, they laughed in their hearts. He Ludong's purpose was too obvious. Since this poem did not have any supernatural powers to stabilize the country, the talent should be around three feet high, at most Mingzhou. But if it was just an ordinary Mingzhou, the status of this poem would not be highlighted, so they needed to find ways to raise it, which is the so-called fame.

Jiang Hechuan pondered for a moment and said, "The poetry of Mingzhou is the sentiment of defending the country."

"Great!" Many Jing State officials praised in unison.

The officials of Qing State cursed in their hearts, this was just a poem that was forcibly praised by a great scholar. If the great scholars of all generations praised it, this Mingzhou poem would definitely be blown into a national poem, and Qing State would be embarrassed.

Those great scholars or scholars who have conflicts with the Qing Kingdom will "consciously" bring up this poem when appreciating related poems. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the literary reputation formed is not insignificant.

As long as the poems are out of the county, they can be preserved for a long time. When they reach the level of Mingzhou, they are impervious to water, fire, insects and pests. Now that they are being praised, it is impossible for Qingguo not to lose face for hundreds of years.

He Ludong said, "I will write down what happened today on the discussion board. Recently, scholars from the ten countries have been paying attention to the battle between Fang's Library and Fang Xu Shengwen for a state. This matter is bound to cause heated discussions. Please don't argue with me."

"No dispute. However, this poem has been put on the list of literary works! Because it is a new poem, its temporary status is very high, ranking third! Someone has already asked about the origin of this poem on the list."

Qing Jun looked flustered. He sighed and said, "Don't discuss this Jingguo general. I was negligent. Xin Zhi, the governor of Haizhou, made an inappropriate statement. He is dismissed from his post, fined for three years, and appointed to another position."

Fang Yun had a cold smile on his face. Not to mention those old-timers in the officialdom, even he, who was new to the officialdom, understood that Xin Zhi was dismissed. It seemed serious, but it was Qing Jun who hinted at Xin Zhi to be appointed to another position. In any case, since he had come forward for the country, he might be hidden in the near future, but he would definitely be compensated in the future.

Since the Qing Kingdom punished Xin Zhi, if the news spreads, the reputation of the King of Qing and the Qing Kingdom will be better, at least they are not shielding the person who made the mistake.

"I know my crime and am willing to accept punishment," Xin Zhi said.

He Ludong bowed to Lord Qing and said, "There is one thing I don't understand. Xin Zhi clearly framed the dancer and insulted the Void Saint, so why did Lord Qing only say that he was rude? If someone maliciously cursed the king of a country, would it only be rude?"

Qing Jun's face darkened, and he cursed in his heart how these Jing people were so cunning. If someone of low literary status said so, he could scold them. If it was a great scholar like Jiang Hechuan, he could deceive them. But He Ludong, a Hanlin, had a neither high nor low status, so Qing Jun had to find a perfect excuse.

But the incident happened suddenly, and Qingjun was only a juren. No matter how experienced he was, it would be impossible for him to find a perfect explanation in a short time.

When Xin Zhi saw that Qing Jun was in trouble, he immediately glared at He Ludong and said, "How dare you, a Hanlin from a small country, question me, Qing Jun? Do you think there is no one in my Qing country?"

He Ludong sneered and said, "Is it the seventh smallest in the Ten Kingdoms Competition, or the smallest in the Ten Kingdoms Jinshi Hunting Ground?"

Xin Zhi retorted: "Is it eleven states or four states?"

The Kingdom of Qing has ten and a half states, which can barely be counted as eleven states, while the Kingdom of Jing has only three and a half states, which can be counted as four states.

He Ludong snorted lightly and did not respond.

Fang Yun calmly corrected him, "After today, it will be the Ten States."

All the officials of Qing State cursed in their hearts. It was really a case of a higher-ranking official crushing a person to death. Even if it was a great scholar from Jing State who said this, they would dare to point at the other party's nose and ridicule him. However, Fang Yun was a virtual saint. Even if they were furious, they dared not say anything excessive. They had to choose their words carefully and talk to Fang Yun calmly and reasonably.

What made the officials of Qing State angry was that Fang Yun seemed to like to use his status as a virtual saint to suppress and vilify Qing State, as if he had such privileges that he would rather not use them.

Qing Jun gritted his teeth. Today, he had been forced into a dead end by Fang Yun. If he was not careful, his reputation would be ruined. He could only remain silent. At this time, Xin Zhi, a Hanlin with a neither high nor low status, played the same role as He Ludong.

Qingjun glanced at Xinzhi.

Xin Zhi understood what he meant, and bowed to Fang Yun, saying, "I have already admitted my fault, why do you still ask for a pursuit and a beating that is disrespectful to the society? The words of the Void Saint are as powerful as the nine tripods. However, before the outcome of the literary battle is decided, it seems a bit hasty for a dignified Void Saint to say so."

Zhou Junhu chuckled disdainfully and said, "Is it insulting? You clearly made a big mistake, but you were brushed off by someone who made such a rude remark. The rewards and punishments are unclear. This is insulting. I won't waste my words with you. Do you dare to fight me?"

Xin Zhi did not refute immediately, and the momentum of the officials of Qing State was obviously suppressed by Zhou Junhu.

The confrontation of military strategies is when military strategists use military books as a medium to consult the Holy Academy, connect to the holy book "The Art of War", and project their thoughts into the literary world of the military saint Sun Tzu.

The Sun Tzu literary world has evolved many battlefields, which are the actual combat sites for the members of the Holy Academy, disciples of military strategists, and children of the Sun Saint family.

Once a confrontation between the two militaries is formed, the two sides will enter a battlefield somewhere in Sun Tzu's literary world and fight in the battlefield of the literary world.

If it is an ordinary actual battle in the literary world, failure means failure, and success means going to other battlefields and gaining the powerful "Killing Power". The Killing Power is a power derived from the Way of War, containing the power of the Holy Way of Wisdom and the Holy Way of Courage. It has a slight strengthening effect on literary courage, but most importantly, it has a strengthening effect on military books and tactics.

The killing power does not have a direct effect on enhancing battle poetry or verbal sparring, but the more killing power you have, the stronger your understanding of the essence of the Way of War will be, and the deeper your understanding of battle poetry, verbal sparring and other related combat powers will be, and the stronger your strength will be.
